Shearman & Sterling has won a lead role on the acquisition of General Motors' Hummer brand by a Chinese industrial manufacturer.

Shearman advised China's Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery (Tengzhong) on its purchase, in a deal reportedly worth up to $250m (£151m).

The US firm fielded a large team from China, the US and Brussels, with Hong Kong M&A partner Paul Strecker and Beijing M&A partner Lee Edwards leading.
